    My uncle went back to school this summer because to move up anymore in the company he works he has to have a bachelors degree, they don’t care what it’s in as long as you have the degree.

    He’s going through some online school because they were the ones that transferred the most of his credits.

    I was 22.5 a year for EWU in scenic Cheney, WA. Jokes on them I'm coming back to teach, buy land, and I have stellar credit.... Oh shit I actually think they made me an adult

    Communications with a focus on Business Management. Minor in Workplace Leadership

    I liked the curriculum and professors and I'd like to use my knowledge help nonprofits function smoother. But right now my school could use a couple adjunct professors and lecturers and that would pay well so I could wait for an opening where I actually want to work. Gotta get back to Cheney/Spokane first, being here right now is killing me.

    I’d like to get at least a Bachelor’s Degree in something. A lot of employers require one in order to be hired, or even move up in the company.

    I live in the perfect place for my major too. Computer Engineering half an hour away from the Silicon Valley.

    I might get a summer job at Tesla. I have a friend who’s a stakeholder there and told me he could get me an entry level job there.

    Fascinating. How’d you get into IT?

    Don’t like Arizona? Haha.

    What they don't tell you about HVAC is even after you get certified you're likely going to spend some time knocking tin and being a helper. An HVAC tech isn't shit if he can't do tin.

    I’m getting paid 40k+ a year to go to school/work and when I finish I can get my associates degree with just a few classes at the community college. Apprenticeships are pretty sweet. Especially when looking at my fiancé’s school debt for pharm school.

    Took the truck to get inspected. Had this 2018 Trd Pro out front. Been there for awhile I guess because of the manual tranny. Damn, thats a nice truck. If I had 44k to finance, it wouldve been mine. Didnt drive it but It did surprise me how the clutch pedal felt just like the one in my 2004, wheras my dads 2008 is super stiff. 0616181303a.jpg 0616181304.jpg 0616181304a.jpg

    I've found that a lot of Toyota dealerships have their own parts website, not just Camelback in Phoenix.

    They have hyperlinked parts diagrams to make it easier to look up the part you need. Just wanted to mention it to you guys in case you hadn't seen them. For example, this place is a lot closer to me for pick-up than Camelback.

    Suspension, 33s, some armor... Rust, Gray wire and 2Low, and more. T4r is stock.
    If I'm getting parts from a dealer I just get it from my local dealer. If their prices are way out of line I just show them the link to Camelback and they'll price match... Usually.

    Same. Except for the price match thing. I figure once I pay shipping its always equal to what I can get in town.

    @ClevSix and @Blue92 what I'm saying is, a lot of Toyota dealers are starting websites of their own and maybe your local dealer has a parts website if you do a search for it.

    I understand that, and yes they do. But its not the easiest to navigate and its easy enough just to walk in.
